Isn't James going back to the Os, Henson scored on his debut for Brizzle as well, Parling is a great capture for Exeter.

Hasn't Croft been linked with Exeter as well?

I assume it is Ed rather than Ruaridh

This is very true. His all round game isn't the best but what he adds to your kick chase makes any half decent tactical kick a threat. As you say no one scores the numbers he does, outrageously proflic over a number of years.maybe Wasps feel his injuries are getting to him.

Very interesting season to my mind.

I'm glad you've listed PDJ first as he is clearly our marquee signing
